"For years, we've been subjected to an endless parade of hyperventilating claims about the Biden administration's supposed "censorship industrial complex." We were told, over and over again, that the government was weaponizing its power to silence conservative speech. The evidence for this? Some angry emails from White House staffers that Facebook ignored. That was basically it. The Supreme Court looked at it and said there was no standing because there was no evidence of coercion."
"If any of the following stories had happened under the Biden administration, you'd hear screams from the likes of Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and Michael Shellenberger, about the crushing boot of the government trying to silence speech. But somehow... nothing. Weiss is otherwise occupied-busy stripping CBS News for parts to please King Trump. And the dude bros who invented the "censorship industrial complex" out of their imaginations? Pretty damn quiet about stories like the following."
For years commentators claimed a 'censorship industrial complex,' asserting the government pressured platforms to silence conservative speech based mainly on a few angry White House emails. The Supreme Court found no standing and no evidence of coercion. Recently, documented cases reveal federal surveillance tracking and intimidating Americans for criticizing government policy. Many former loud critics of alleged censorship have remained largely silent about these new cases. Specific individuals named include Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, Michael Shellenberger, and Pam Bondi, with Bondi publicly stating she called Meta to request removal of certain apps.
